ASICS GT-II September (Directional)

Last week I previewed two new ASICS sneakers. Both are part of the Directional Level of ASICS which you can compare to Nike Quickstrike or adidas Consortium.

This is the September release of a new ASICS GT-II colorway. A total of only 75 pairs were released today in The Netherlands and Belgium. We wanted to give this GT-II a typical 90's running look, that's why we used a white base, two strong pop colors and a speckled outsole. This GT-II comes with white and purple laces. I especially like the purple top part which can be really strong in combination with purple laces. If you want to break this big purple part you can wear them with the white laces!

Remco and me worked together with Dutch multitalent Sef on the whole Autumn/Winter 2009 Directional collection. Sef is know for being one of the people behind the Nike Air Max 90 Homegrown. You can read some info on Sef after the jump.
